Re: FYI: ESPN Cans Pittsburgh Radio Host Mark Madden for...

Sure sucks (insert sarcasm)... I'm just not a big fan of shock jocks or anyone who blindly rips into their own team (constructive critiscm is ok).

And thats my rub with him. He just picks his targets on what will get him more heat, therefore raising his ratings. His attacks on Hines ward, perhaps one of the toughest receivers of all time, and calls him Wines Hard (which was funny) but common', Seriously, going after Hines Ward because he held out once?

He doesn't like Ward because Madden claims that Ward allegedly got him fired
from his television show. He also seems to hate Bettis and calls him a phoney
all the time.

There was more, but these stand out. He's a classless slob who should have been removed from the airwaves years ago.

I have never listened to madden being that I don't live in the east, and I could really give a crap about the Kennedy statement (can you spell Chappaquitick?), and its the first I have heard about the "8 year old girl", but isn't this why they have ratings? If you don't like a radio personality, don't listen to them. Why do the need to fire the guy? Just like the moron Imus, and his comment about the "nappy headed hoes". I saw those chicks, and they might not have been whores, but a few of them are nappy headed.

I don't understand why you fire a shock jock for saying something shocking. Instead turn the channel and let the ratings take him off the air.
